CURRENT MISSION

To conquer the world, horizontally, on a soft upholstered object.

ABOUT ME

I'm a novelist. I do a lot of travel writing and photography as well, for various magazines. I have no hair.

PHILOSOPHY

Four legs good, two legs bad.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Two nights on a lovely couch in Zacatecas. I'm hooked. (Updated: plus a week in Paris, hanging out with various couchsurfers. This is a brilliant concept.)

兴趣

Vintage fedoras. Leicas. Italian Greyhounds.

• writing
• photography
• traveling

音乐、电影和书籍

Calvino, Borges, Nabokov, Von Trier. Alt-folk, alt-country, alt-anything.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

教，学，和分享

Well, I write and photograph professionally, and I'm a semi-professional Photoshop geek. So I can help with all of these. And if you host me, and are nice to me, I'll take your portrait.

(Oh, and I know a lot about vintage fedoras and classic cameras. Enough to give a modest seminar.)
